I am trying to create a persistent home directory on ntfs partition /dev/hda5 on my laptop. I used the image creation utility in the knoppix folder on the cd to write knoppix.img. It worked (after I did some German translation to verify), however home=scan is not picking it up on boot. I think I might be missing an important step and am scratching my head looking for doc on this subject. Do I need to create a dedicated partition to write the .img file to? How should it be formatted? Any links to a specific howto for this? I understand this is beta code and as such may not be supported. Along these same lines, if anyone has gotten persistent directory to work on a 1GB Lexar Jump Drive, I'd appreciate knowing how you did that as well. I can't get scan=home to see that either...then again I am not certain that it formatted and installed the knoppix.img correctly. I also tried the direct approach with both the jump drive and hda5 - scan=/dev/uba1 and scan=/dev/hda5.
